The sari is a timeless and traditional garment, considered the first choice of every Indian woman. The sari’s greatest virtue is its ability to create a completely new and unique look each time. Draped correctly, even a simple sari can set you apart from the crowd and make you the center of attention at any gathering or wedding.
These days, not only married women but also college-age girls and young girls are increasingly wearing saris for special occasions, farewells, and weddings. A unique way of draping a sari, unlike the traditional style, can make you stand out at the party. Let’s explore some of the latest and most impressive sari draping styles you can try this wedding season.
1. Mermaid Style: This Season’s Hottest Choice
This style is one of the most popular trends in the fashion world these days. As the name suggests, this draping style allows the saree to be slightly fitted (tight) up to the knee area and flare out at the bottom.
- Best Combination: To enhance this look, choose sarees in bright colours.
- Floral Print: If the saree has floral print or fine embroidery, then this look will come out beautifully and will give you a modern and glamorous look.
2. Lehenga Style Look: Get the grace of a lehenga without the huge budget
These days, there’s a huge craze among girls and women for wearing sarees in the lehenga style. Young women are particularly fond of this style for wedding functions like the sangeet or reception.
- In this, small and dense pleats are made in the lower part of the saree and set around the waist in such a way that it gives the exact look of a lehenga or a ghagra.
- This is a perfect option for girls who want to achieve the same royal and traditional look without buying a heavy lehenga.
3. Retro Look: A dash of timeless vintage style
The traditional way of wearing a saree when matched with a beautiful bun and dark lipstick or winged eyeliner is called the ‘retro look’.
- Who will it suit: If you have a slim body, then this vintage style will look very beautiful and elegant on you.
- The speciality of this look is that apart from weddings, you can carry it with great confidence in small get-togethers, kitty parties or any formal event.
4. New and fashionable blouse patterns are also very important.
A beautiful saree doesn’t truly stand out without a perfect blouse. Along with the changing styles of sarees, there are also many modern innovations being made with blouse cuts, necklines, and sleeves:
- Deep Neck and Full Cover: These days, while backless or deep-neck blouses are being preferred for night parties, on the other hand, collared ‘full cover’ blouses are also quite in trend which give a royal look.
- Full Sleeves: Full-sleeved blouses in sheer or net fabric are all the rage these days. Elbow-length sleeves also give saris a sober and classy touch.
